Teacher: Our students live here. They are not just educated here. They develop relationships with one another and we’re talking about children from twenty, thirty different nationalities. And they will then go off into university, or into the world of work and business, and they have a real connection to the people they were at school with, the people who they grew up with.

Maria: My name is Maria, and I’m doing Year 8. I’m from Spain. It’s really nice living with your friends because one day if you are homesick they come and they say, ‘Oh, are you OK? Are you OK?’ They are really nice.

Willy: Hi. My name is Willy. I come from Mexico. In the first week I think I probably was homesick. But later on with my friends, and with the studies and many at the school, I started getting distracted and I started to forget about my home and my family.

Teacher: Once a friend, always a friend, and we find that that is the case with our students.

I really like to study in a different country ,especially in Britain and I am really trying hard to make this dream come true. I have stayed many hours in front of my computer googling for any boarding school in Britain. There are so many schools,but none of them is suitable for me. Due to my family financial difficulties I am looking for any boarding schools in UK or maybe in France,Germany that offers scholarships. I would appreciete it if any of you in this site could help me:)

Hi sona :)
It's great that you want to study in the UK! You could take a look at this website called Education UK to find out some more information about studying in the UK.
Good luck, Tina (LearnEnglish Teen Team)

I don't know if I would like to study in a foreign country, but it sure would be one big challenge for me, since I'm not a person that can adjust to big changes. Seeing this video I really thought that it is wonderful studying in a boarding school with children that come from different places. I would certainly like to go to a boarding school. It would be fun and interesting.

I wish I study in the UK. I think it is very good opportunity to study here and good chance to learn English if you are from different country. And I love making new, international friends! It´s funny to have friend in another country.

But now I can´t study in the UK. But I have got a big dream to go to the university here!

Dear team,
Sorry to tell you that the vidoe couldn't be watched. So are other videos. I think the reason for this is probably our different nationalities and IP address. But I really want to watched videos on your website. Could you please solve the problem for me as soon as you can? Or I could just read essays, learn new words, listen to dialogues or something like that.
Thank you!

Hi DoctorHiStreet,
If YouTube is blocked in your country you may have problems with a few of the videos in Video UK and with all the videos in Video zone. You should be able to watch Grammar videos and Phrasal verb videos though. Can you check that you can watch those ones?
With best wishes, Jo (LearnEnglish Teens Team)

Dear Team,
It is true that YouTube is blocked in China. Chinese government always does something annoying like this! And I also couldn't watch Grammar videos and Phrasal verb videos. But I could see videos in Speaking Exams. Could you please give me some suggestions about how to solve the problem?
Thanks

Hi DoctorHiStreet,
You should be able to watch the Grammar videos and the Phrasal verb videos. They are stored in the same place as the Speaking exam videos and have no link to YouTube at all. Can you tell me which browser you are using and try again please.
Best wishes, Jo (LearnEnglish Teens Team)

Hi Jo,
Thanks for your reminder. I really couldn't see these videos. If I use the Internet Explorer, there will be a camera blinking and no video. And If I use the 360 browser(a popular browser in China), there will be a black square in the area.
Looking forward to your reply, thanks
